Descriere magazin:
Who sets language policy today? Who made whom the grammar doctor? Lacking the equivalent of l\'Acad mie fran aise, we English speakers must find our own way looking for guidance or vindication in source after source. McGuffey\'s Readers introduced nineteenth-century students to correct English. Strunk and White\'s Elements of Style and William Safire\'s column, On Language, provide help on diction and syntax to contemporary writers and speakers. Sister Miriam Joseph\'s book, The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric, invites the reader into a deeper understanding--one that includes rules, definitions, and guidelines, but whose ultimate end is to transform the reader into a liberal artist.A liberal artist seeks the perfection of the human faculties.

The Trivium resulted from that noble endeavor.The liberal artist travels in good company. Sister Miriam Joseph frequently cites passages from William Shakespeare, John Milton, Plato, the Bible, Homer, and other great writers. The Paul Dry Books edition of The Trivium provides new graphics and notes to make the book accessible to today\'s readers. Sister Miriam Joseph told her first audience that the function of the trivium is the training of the mind for the study of matter and spirit, which constitute the sum of reality. The fruit of education is culture, which Mathew Arnold defined as \'the knowledge of ourselves and the world.\' May this noble endeavor lead many to t
